steve forbes, chairman and editor in chief of forbes media, joins us. steve, why is this happening? >> well, what's happening is you have a combination of the baby boomers who obviously have more disabilities, you also have a weak economy, people get laid off or injured, so instead of waiting a few years to go to regular social security, they apply for disability. now, it's not easy to get these benefits. sometimes you have to wait upwards of two years or more. but the backlog is being reduced, more people are getting them, so the system is in crisis. >> gregg: i was reading the comments of a couple of congressmen the other day who said well, what we can do is we can just shift the money from the retirement fund into the disability fund. does that strike you as just kind of sticking a finger in the dike? >> that underlines something that's been ignored is there's no money in the fund. they have $2.6 trillion, but they are in nonmarketable ious from the treasury department so they've got to convert those into marketable bonds and have the treasury raise cash and the sooner they do it

what are we expecting, steve? >> we are expecting to see the president after all of the republican activity has gone. this is a state that was solidly blue in 2008. it is purple today. let's take a look down memory lane in 2008, obama wins the iowa caucuses, wins iowa in the general election, the state of iowa has 110,000 more registered democratic voters than it has republicans. skip forward two years, that advantage is down to 35,000, and for the first time since 1962, an incumbent democratic governor, an incumbent governor in the state of iowa, is voted out of office. the mood here has changed. also the amount of attention that president obama will be able to pay specifically to iowa, it will be a lot less attention. >> i think what -- i think what you're going to see in iowa in 2012 is the core democrat supporters being very active, very supportive. what iowans have to remember, and they're not good about remembering, is that he has to run in 49 other states. iowa was spoiled in 2007, leading up to the caucuse
